The Only Place That the MSM Admits to the GOP's Central Role in the Fight for Blacks' Civil Rights Is in the "50 Years Ago" Section

The only place nowadays that you can read about the historically central role of the Republican Party (you know, those awful, terrible racists) in the fight for civil rights is in the MSM newspapers' 50 Years Ago section:

1963 Republicans Seek Civil-Rights Program

WASHINGTON — Nine Republicans in the House of Representatives plan to
introduce a broad civil rights program and make as much noise as
possible about it. Although their chances of enacting the program are
small, they could embarrass the Kennedy administration by their move.
Led by Rep. John Lindsay, of New York, the Republican members of the
Judiciary Committee will introduce bills to establish a fair employment
practices commission, give the Attorney General increased power to bring
civil action in discrimination cases and abolish literacy tests.
